Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

After receiving Yuan Tiangang's assurance, Li Kuan nodded, and then looked at Pei Ji: "Mr. Pei, for your sake, let's stop this matter."

"That's very good." Pei Ji, who was carefully putting the tiger bones back into the brocade box, had a smile on his face, but he had already cursed in his heart: This unlucky boy could even use the tiger bones that he gave to the Supreme Emperor to send back to him. In the hands of the original owner, it was really... how should I put it? Maybe neither I nor the tiger bone could have imagined that one day we would meet again after a long absence.

"Chengxian!" Suddenly, Pei Ji called out twice.

"Grandpa..." Not long after, Pei Chengxian's figure appeared at the door, but there was a bit of reluctance in his voice.

"Take Huairen to play in the backyard. I still have something to discuss with His Highness the King of Chu." After Pei Ji finished speaking, he turned to Li Huairen and showed an apologetic smile. This was considered an apology.

Li Huairen is obviously aware. After all, he has grown up under Li Xiaogong's stick education since he was a child. If he didn't have a little bit of discernment and how to observe words and emotions, he might have died long ago. Therefore, Li Huairen just smiled and raised his hand to Pei Ji, "Excuse me, junior." After saying that, Li Huairen rushed out of the lobby without even looking at Li Kuan, and forced himself on Pei Chengxian, who had just had a fight with him yesterday. We crossed our shoulders and walked towards the garden.

No matter how you look at that battle, it looks like there will be another fight later.

Of course, no one will care about these now.

"Prime Minister Pei, Your Highness the King of Chu, I remembered that I have something important to do, so I will take my leave first. Please forgive me." Yuan Tiangang also knew and found an excuse to say goodbye and left.

Soon, Pei Ji and Li Kuan were the only ones left in the lobby.

One big and one small, two equally matched opponents who are drifting apart from each other on the road of not doing their job properly.

"May I ask His Highness the King of Chu, why you came to visit this time?" Before Tu Qiongdeng met, Pei Ji thought it would be better to know the purpose of the visit.

"Hey, what can happen to me?" Li Kuan laughed after hearing this: "I had a conflict with Prime Minister Pei in the main hall a few days ago. Now that I think about it carefully, I feel that something is wrong, and I also have my mouth. Without hesitation, I used Cheng as the basis to threaten Prime Minister Pei. This move undoubtedly hurt the brotherly relationship between Cheng Xian and I. Therefore, I came here today partly to apologize to Prime Minister Pei, and partly because of me. I hope we can reconcile with Chengxian." At the end of Li Kuan's words, the smile on his face had long since disappeared.

As for Pei Ji, even though he pretended to be deeply moved, in fact, he didn't feel that Li Kuan was telling the truth at all.

I have to say that both of them have acting skills.

Seeing that Li Kuan was already "heartbroken", Pei Ji and Prime Minister Pei naturally wanted to bow before him. However, unfortunately, due to their identities and ages, and the fact that Pei Ji might want to save some face, the famous scene in his imagination did not happen. Appear.

But when Li Kuan was about to apologize, Pei Ji's next highly suggestive words aroused Li Kuan's interest.

"Your Highness King Chu, I have to admit that although you may occasionally act naughty, I think you are the most suitable candidate to be the future hero of the world!"

When Pei Ji said this with a look of indignation, Li Kuan was stunned.

Isn't it? "If you want to take something first, you must give it first." But you have nothing to do so much?

What, you want to kill my head?

"Alas..." Li Kuan had already re-formulated the strategic policy in just a few breaths: "Who says it's not true? Prime Minister Pei, I won't hide it from you. In fact, many times, when I think of the past, Every one of them, one by one... I will still feel aggrieved to this day.

——I was fostered by my parents at my grandmother's side when I was born. Later, due to my frailty at a young age, I almost died. Later, my grandmother worked hard to raise me and make me a talented person. But now, everything has changed.

I don’t understand why I just was born later than my eldest brother and have lost that opportunity since then. This king...is not convinced! "Li Kuan said while making a look like he was sighing. This big fat fish named "Li Kuan" was desperately biting the bait thrown by Pei Ji.

Those who wish will take the bait, right? Neither the fisher nor the fished should refuse.

But Pei Ji was obviously not as easy to deceive as Li Kuan imagined.

Regarding Li Kuan's "revelation of true feelings", he just smiled faintly, and then acted as if nothing had happened, and started chatting with Li Kuan about other things.

Later, after being tortured repeatedly for nearly half an hour, Li Kuan finally waited for Li Huairen who had returned from the racecourse, and then the two brothers left the Pei Mansion together.

But as soon as he left Pei's house and got on the carriage, Li Huairen's first words were: "Brother Kuan, don't say that I, a brother, didn't warn you: Prime Minister Pei may have evil intentions."

"How did you see this?" Li Kuan glanced sideways at his good brother, a little surprised at his great progress in recent days.

"Their horses are too many and too precious." Li Huairen's voice sounded softly as if he was sighing: "I have never seen any prince's house with as many thousand-mile horses as those of Prime Minister Pei's house. Kuan Brother, you said that Prime Minister Pei is so keen on collecting BMWs. Could it be that he is preparing to run away at any time?"

"The angle is strange and worth pondering." Li Kuan leaned against the carriage and felt the carriage swaying forward on Zhuque Street, feeling sleepy gradually coming over him.

But in this half-dream and half-awake state, Li Kuan suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Is it possible that Pei Ji's purpose of testing himself is really to get another piece of "the merit of being a dragon"?

Or……

In the midst of the lightning and flint, His Highness King Chu seemed to have some enlightenment, and suddenly felt a creepy feeling in his heart: as if he had become a prey and had been targeted for a long time...

Is this old boy Pei Ji just fishing for law enforcement?

No wonder he suddenly withdrew after just a brief trial.

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes. Is this old guy planning to sell himself out in exchange for the position of prime minister?

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?

Then let’s try to figure out who is the one responsible for fishing and enforcing the law...

-------------------------------------

In the days that followed, everything seemed to be back on track.

While Li Kuan was studying Sun Tzu's Art of War from Yu Shinan, he began to practice the most basic movement of archery: Zamabu.

Of course, during this period, Li Ke and Li Tai's two brothers would occasionally force Li Kuan to go to the Imperial Garden, either to go fishing, or the three brothers would hold bamboo poles and search in an abandoned palace until they found a hornet's nest hidden under the eaves. , the three brothers use guessing to decide who will strike first, and then play a game of "sting or sting" in the game of the brave.

Although he occasionally made mistakes, either his eyes were swollen or his lips were twice as thick, but after applying the ointment, he woke up the next day feeling like a good man again.

But the good times will pass.

In the seventh lunar month of the second year of Zhenguan, the locust plague broke out completely in Guanzhong.

Starting from Tongguan, the farthest point, locust plagues occurred almost simultaneously in the twenty-seven prefectures in Guanzhong: locusts spontaneously swarmed up from riverbanks, ditches, puddles, reed swamps, and wastelands, and pounced on the crops that were about to be harvested. Welcome their feast.

Next, swarms of green-yellow mist-like insects could be seen almost everywhere in Guanzhong, rising and falling from the ground. The "click-click-click" sound of eating almost became a nightmare for all the people.

There is no doubt that this is a real natural disaster!

Li Kuan, on the other hand, almost immediately ordered someone to go to Yinyue Tower to bring a message: He still needed 400,000 shi of food.

However, before he could wait for the other party's reply, His Majesty Li Er had already begun the ruthless work of chewing locusts in the court hall while bursting into tears...
